To Die in Spring

'To Die in Spring holds its own against Günter Grass and Erich Maria Remarque; it is an excellent work, and one deserving of its wide readership. ' Rachel Seiffert, Guardian 'The horror of war and the deep damage it does to people. is not always handled as well, or as powerfully, as this. ' Sunday Times 'A remarkable and memorable book, about the nastiness, fear, dirt and brutality of war. Few novels, in any language, have conveyed them better. ' Caroline Moorehead, TLS.
